COMPASSION INSPIRED BY MARY
Guided by the love of Christ and the example of Mary, we practice compassion in all our interactions. We reach out with empathy to those who are suffering, offering comfort and solidarity. Our compassion is active, moving us to listen deeply, understand others’ struggles, and respond with caring hearts and hands.

Service to God, the Church, and our brothers and sisters in need is at the heart of our mission. We commit to being servants of peace and justice, dedicating our energies to supporting the sick, those who protect our communities, and individuals in consecrated life. Our actions reflect our faith, and we strive to serve with humility and joy.
Daily Conversion
Welcome
We believe in the ongoing process of conversion, recognizing that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey. We commit to personal and communal transformation through prayer, reflection, and action, continually aligning our lives more closely with the Gospel and the teachings of the Servite Order. Each member is encouraged to seek personal holiness and inspire one another toward deeper faithfulness.
Mercy
Inspired by God’s boundless mercy, we cultivate a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation within our community and beyond. We strive to act with mercy in all our dealings, extending grace to ourselves and others. By embodying mercy, we hope to mirror the love of Mary, who intercedes for us and guides us to be instruments of peace and healing.
"Through devotion to the Mother of Sorrows, the Secular Servite acquires a particular interest in service to the sick, the infirm and the most needy, whether physically, spiritually or morally. In this commitment of service, the figure of Mary at the foot of the Cross will be their guiding principle. Because the Son of Man is still being crucified daily in his sisters and brothers, the secular Servant of Mary wishes to be present with Mary at the foot of these infinite crosses"
